depending on how long your hair is $500 including tip may not be bad. i think my friend paid $800. japanese straightening takes a lot of time and involves a lot of labor, hence the high costs.
definitely check out some places in fort lee or even call the salon in mitsuwa.
just as a thought, someone in my office got their hair relaxed for $100. it's not the same as straightening but she has thick, really wavy hair and it made it smooth. she said she does it every summer so humidity isn't such an issue.

i was just going to mention mitsuwa also (oh, how i miss fort lee/edgewater)!
also, there is a hair salon by a restaurant in ft. lee called snow pea (across from the boston market and starbucks)
